Photo of an indoor ceremony before deep red drapes and a gold-and-green backdrop. A smiling man on the left wears a rust-red garment, a long gold necklace of beads, gold earrings, coral-coloured bangles and a white forehead mark with a red dot. Beside him is a gold lion-headed figure with a dark cobra coiled over its head, and a silver staff with a finial rises at right. A man in a white shirt with an orange-brown beaded garland bows low, head bent, toward the seated figure's knee while the seated man's hand rests on it. A second person is partly visible at the right edge.2014-07-19 +1 copiesJune 02 20142014-06-02February 06 20142014-02-06April 13 20142014-04-13A seated man in a rust-red turban with a gold brooch, gold ornaments on his arms and a multi-strand gold beaded necklace, wearing a red and gold garment over a leopard-print cloth, smiles while extending his right hand in blessing toward a kneeling man in a white shirt who bows forward and holds a small golden object in his hands.
